Am I the only one that actually hates the new champion select?

NOTE: I AM COMPARING THE NEW DRAFT TO TEAM BUILDER NOT OLD DRAFT.

So I have been exposed too the new champ select since it was put up on the PBE and even back then I hated the thing for some very simple, and somewhat selfish, reasons. But they can be succinctly summarized as I almost never got the role I wanted, I main SUPPORT, I almost never play any other lane unless it is absolutely required of me, this doesn't mean I can't play other lanes it just means that 99/100 times that I play a game in normals or ranked I want to be support.

I have some thoughts on what and how they can change the new champion select to let people get the role they want even if the champion they want to play gets banned.

Allow players to pick the same role for both preferred positions: that way they way when they look through all of the available matches they can only be matched for that role.

-- Or --

Allow players to rank EVERY position from 1 - 5: To clarify you can rank each position from 5 (does not want) to 1 (This is my main) individually so if you really like both Top and Jungle you can put both as a 1, you also can kinda support so you put it as a 3, but you don't care for ad/apc so they are both 5, so this way the matchmaker system will try to look for games that have openings for your top picks and try not to put you into games where you would have to play your low picks.

-- Or --

JUST BRING TEAMBUILDER BACK!!!!

Now I feel that the last suggestion would be the easiest to do and doesn't require them to do much to the new Draft mode which is not terrible for draft in general, I mean it is nice to "pick" your champion while bans are still in progress so that way the people on your team don't accidentally ban your champion because they didn't read "don't ban (champion name here)" also letting three different people pick one ban each is also nice because then you don't just have one player banning three champs that they don't like. Now I would also like to say that they may have plans to bring team builder back anyway I just want them to bring it back quicker then what they may have had already planed.

TL;DR = I don't like the new champion select when compared to team builder, they can do some stuff to improve the new champion select and make it better and more like team builder, but it isn't required as long as they just simply bring back team builder. I don't know when/if they are going to bring back team builder to begin with but I would like them to bring it back ASAP because of reasons.

P.S. if you are going to down vote please at the very least explain why you like the new champion select then team builder.

The one thing I hate is the lock in requirement on everything. I've wasted time in at least 6 lobbies that failed today because someone didn't lock something.
